Just as Luxembourg residents recover from an outbreak of the norovirus, they've now been warned to brace themselves for a flu outbreak.

Luxembourg Health Ministry sanitary inspection chief Dr Pierre Weicherding has announced that the annual flu season is on its way in Luxembourg. Despite the fact that most sufferers are urged to stay in bed to avoid disseminating the virus further, a predicted rise in temperature could lead to a rapid spread of the illness.

High risk residents, in particular the elderly, chronically ill or pregnant women, are urged to get the flu vaccine.
